" ... had trouble getting put together, stayed wobbly--gave it away, waste of money. ... "
" ... The pole doesn't stay firmly seated in the base, making moving it around a bit of a chore as it falls off. ... "
" ... Stamped plastic grills that have no way to stay together - no clamps, do not click into slots or divets, nothing to hold the two sides together - just sit there loosely, one sort of sliding inside the other. ... The stand doesn't even have a way to safely secure the post. ... It even offers an oscillating knob but pulling it up requires both hands - one to ensure the fan grills do not fall to the floor. ... "
" ... Screwed it back in, as tight as possible. ... "
" ... I can't get it to stay together. ... The front keeps falling off and when you try to move it at all the stand falls off. ... "
